The irony of this post’s title is that I’m a white guy.
An interesting discussion is going on over at Nektros that you should check out. It’s a general discussion about racism, stereotyping and fat Asian chicks; a killer combination of topics if I do say so myself. The only thing better would be talking about fat white guys. Then I could speak from personal experience :D.
Racism and cultural stereotyping sicken me. But I have to come to grips with the fact that I sometimes partake in them as well. Why? Why are we so prone to categorizing people? Why, after having one negative experience with someone do we then avoid or unfairly treat others like them?
Do we convince ourselves that we’re sparing us another negative experience? What do you think about stereotyping?
